Guest slither Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 Hi! This is my first post here so sorry for any mistakes I might make... Anyway, I'm having problems using my isp's proxy server. I can use it as long as I don't enable my firewall (firestarter), if I enable it my internet stops working, and I have to use direct connection. Is there something I have to configure in firestarter in order to get the proxy working? Any help is appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phunni Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 The easiest solution is to simply trust the ip of your ISPs proxy in firestarter. That's pretty easy to do - jsut add a new rule. Obviously that's only worth doing if your ISPs proxy is trustworthy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phunni Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 Good news :D It has just occured to me though, that if all your internet traffic is coming in via this proxy then you gotta wonder what a firewall is going to do for you... Unless there's someone on your local LAN you don't trust... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest slither Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 Yeah, I started to think about that myself and decided to just use direct connection... Thanks anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
